Why did it get this rating?
This series was self-rated by the Disney+. You can find out more about cross-rating here.
Adult themes
The series deals with adult situations which may be inappropriate for younger viewers, like smoking, dysfunctional families, domestic abuse, racial stereotyping, LGBTQ+ acceptance, grieving deceased loved ones, and even subjects like sexual harassment and suicidal thoughts. Though some of these topics may go over younger viewers heads, it may encourage discussions by parents or caregivers with tamariki and rangatahi.
Sexual themes
Sometimes characters can be seen making out or are implied to have engaged in sexual intercourse. These moments are usually for comic effect.
Nudity
Sometimes characters can be seen nude, but private areas are covered, and we do not see anything explicit. Nudity depictions are mostly done for comedic purposes. One episode depicts full-frontal nudity in the form of two characters in a satire of a reality TV series, but their genitals are pixelated out.
Violence
Characters in King of the Hill are seen several times watching a show where a “villain” often kills his victims in brutal ways by shooting and/or stabbing them; however the violence is more slapstick-based rather than graphic in nature.
Offensive language
This show contains the use of offensive language, with words like “b*tch,” “sh*t,” and “d*ck,” as well as a few uses of “f*ck,” which is bleeped out every time it is used.
